music makes the world go round,

Yesterday I rediscovered... audio tapes

I can't remember the last time I listened to one. Even cd-s I listen to rarely, though I have more than enough, some of them with stuff I don't have in an mp3 format.

But there is some talk going on in the music section, as Robert Plant will have a gig in Bucharest. I remember buying a Led Zep tape when I was in the tenth grade or so... I looked for it. And then, someone made the mistake of opening a topic on Bon Jovi and I got all nostalgic reminscing stuff. It's weird how one type of music connects to certain periods and aspects of your life. I have very vivid memories regarding songs, album, singers, posters, etc.

I still have cassettes and occasionally listen to them in my car. I keep meaning to convert them to CD as they are all bootlegs which can never br rebought, but i never get round to it!

I never understood the attraction of Led Zeppelin and especially Robert Plant. Their music just never did anything for me. I like a few songs, but that's it.

downloaded some damien rice. he's an irish singer but you can't tell that by istening to him. he's pretty ok and right now in tone with my mopy mood. he mostly has songs about love and stuff but they have a special flavour to them. not sorry i downloaded 30+ songs

how can you tell a singer is irish for others?

Some you can really hear their accents, like the guy from the pogues. But Bono for example - i wouldn't know he was irish from his singing.

Or Jim Kerr from simple minds. Or even Andrea from the Corrs. Or Sharleen Spiteri of Texas. Or Fran Healy from Travis. Though when they speak in interviews, I can barely understand them.

Ok, put your hands up all those who remember Mmmmmmbop? :D

Hanson are back :D

And they look all serious and grown-up :P

Hanson have been back a while i thought :P Is it all 3 of them? I was never a fan though!

I hadn't noticed them

Yep, all three :P

A Swedish couple has run into trouble with authorities for trying to name their baby Metallica. Story is here.

Made me smile

It's a good thing that the Abba trend is over in Sweden
